the west, then sunshine and showers at the weekend. If you are heading

further and of field, Matt Taylor has the national forecast.

If it is staycation for you at the moment, there is an unwelcome guest

at Hotel UK, the jet stream to the south of the UK, quite important,

because it is bringing weather systems, and it forms on the

boundary between warm air to the south and cooler to the north, and

we are on the wrong side of the jet stream at the moment, we have got

cooler and low pressure in charge. It will be with us through the week

and a weekend, and this weather front has cleared, but we have some

nasty showers at present, south-west Scotland, boogie across north-west

England, thunderstorms, torrential downpours, moving across the

Pennines shortly, fading away through the night. But the rest of

you, the night will be dry, showers in the north and west, fresher than

last night, double figures in towns and cities, single digits in the

countryside. The morning is best for dry weather tomorrow, high cloud

across the south, but showers quickly forming in the West,

frequent in western Scotland, Northern Ireland, developing across

England and Wales through the last stage of the morning. The odd rumble

of thunder with those, but sunshine will be back, one to avoiding the

showers, best favoured will be Scotland towards Orkney and

Shetland. When the showers go through, a day for July. The showers

continue through the night into Friday, lengthier burst across

Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England, temperatures

similar to this coming night. As we go into Friday, the same area of low

pressure anchored to the north-west of us, but on the southern flank

something else developing closer to the jet stream. That will change the

fortunes of England and Wales, after a dry start on Friday, clouding over

from the south-west, more abundant rainfall southern England, Wales,

the Midlands, North West England. A wet night will follow across England

and Wales before that rain clears into the near continent for the rest

of the weekend. Is will inhibit some of the showers to the south and

east, so I dry day on Saturday, lots of showers to the north and west,

and when you see the sunshine and will feel warm, but when the showers

come through, it will feel rather cool.
